Music

Adele's recent concert was a delight. She came on stage after her warm up act, Civil War ( to be avoided like the plague, or in fact a civil war) . . .

. . . and sang - no fanfare, no special effects, no fancy costumes, no dry humping ( a la Usher the week before, so I was told). This was just a young woman with a lovely voice and a sweet temperament.
Adele has a lot of growing to do, artistically speaking. She writes her own music, which is good, but she hasn't had enough life experience to write broadly enough; her subject matter is too limited.
She also shouldn't apologize to people who have paid a lot of money to see her and t

Last week I returned from NYC. It was a great trip and my gigs as DJ Relentless and Jade Elektra went fantastic. It was so great to see a lot of my old friends. But upon my return, there was a snow storm and the news of several deaths. We lost a great AIDS activist and Hollywood royalty....Elizabeth Taylor. And one of the pioneers of Disco and House....Miss Loleatta Holloway. I had heard that Liz had been sick, but really didn’t know how bad it was. But the news of Loleatta seem to come

'I was reading a review of Nicki’s album in Next Magazine in NY. They pointed out that she has quite a few homophobic lyrics in her tracks and does not apologize for them'.

No * means horrible* means you better get used to it** means there is something to like about it*** means I like it a lot**** means I love it“Black Friday” (Nicki Minaj Diss) Lil’ Kim (Atlantic Records) It always amazes me when I hear about another rap feud. Last year when I first heard about Nicki Minaj I thought to myself...”She is taking over where Lil’ Kim left off”.
I mean, after Kim’s stint in jail and her public relations appearance on “Dancing With The Sta

I think she writes a good Pop song, but the way folks were going crazy for Lady GaGa- it's getting just as ridiculous

So, it seems Rihanna's first single from her new album is tearing up the charts and has become a radio and dancefloor favorite. Now all she needs to do is keep hitting 'em hard with hits to ma

Thank you, God for allowing change in my life. Thank you for always keeping me on the creative path and music in my heart. And speaking of music.....here’s a few tracks that I recently listened to

Okay...I’m not sure what I have done to the universe that has made my computer problems its main source of enjoyment, but I apologize. I wish to live in harmony and at one with all living things.
I just got back from New York City where I had a couple of gigs and did some shopping. On that trip and every trip that I take to the cit

1) "Lady In Satin" by Billie Holiday (This was her last album and even though her voice is about gone at this point, the raw emotions in each song still make me want to cry. And when they re-issued the CD with outtakes, I was in heaven!)
2) "Live & More" by Donna Summer (This was the first album that I saved my allowance to buy. Donna never sounded so good. And the MacArthur Park Suite made me want to learn how to mix.)
3) "Private Life: The Collection" by Grace Jones (This is one of my

Okay....I know must speak for most DJ’s in the gay bar scene when I say “No more request for Lady GaGa”. I swear if I see one more homosexual giving me the puppy dog eyes as he begs for another Lady GaGa song,

Okay....I know must speak for most DJ’s in the gay bar scene when I say “No more request for Lady GaGa”. I swear if I see one more homosexual giving me the puppy dog eyes as he begs for another Lady GaGa song, I’m gonna lose it and commit a Gay-on-gay hate crime. It’s gotten ridiculous. As if they haven’t heard any Lady GaGa in a hundred years. When you know damn well that they have all her songs on their iPod and they just left another dancefloor where they were trying their best
